3 ETFs that Beat Buffett's Returns

There were three ETFs that took Warren Buffett's advice and beat him in his own game.
1) VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT)
2) Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF (SPGP)
3) Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF (COWZ)

Thank you. If you are near Aljunied or JB I owe you lunch, though because most of my assets are in the market it'll have to be at a food court.

I appreciate your perfect balance of conciseness and detail. I did not see the three lined up and compared to each other. Why not?

I am thinking about COWZ but worried when I look at the graph. Sure it beat BH, but it is only today and in the past 18months or so that it has beat the S&P?? and such a high expense ratio

SPGP’s current investment strategy and index changed in June, 2019. So it’s not valid to look at performance prior to that time. It’s still a good ETF, based on three-year performance, but who knows if it changes its index and strategy again! If so, one might end up owning an ETF that doesn’t fit their objectives. BTW, MOAT is by far my favorite large cap ETF.

Problem is the dividends paid out by the ETF, out of which 30% is taxed away as withholding tax for Singaporeans.

Would there be any drawbacks owning all 3 of these MOAT, SPGP, OMFL .... ?

Are these 3 ETFs highly co-related from diversification point of view?

Beating Buffett is irrelevant. Berkshire Hathaway is an investment that serves some unique roles such as not being tax destructive, is intrinsically diversified, and is actively managed. The S&P 500 is at the mercy of a small number of companies. All 3 have a place in your portfolio and will contribute to your long term success.
